Hello everyone! My name is Meredith Tcherniavsky and this is my first post on POA. Nice to "meet" all of you here. I thought I'd take this opportunity to let you know about a really special adventure my husband and fellow CFI, Dana Holladay, and I are planning for this summer.
In December we bought a 1938 J-3 Cub with the intention of landing it in all 48 contiguous states this year. It's something we've each always wanted to do, and we couldn't think of a better way to see the country than from 500' AGL, "low and slow" in a J-3! We landed in 6 states on the ferry flight home from Florida to Maryland, and will likely repeat one or two of those southeastern states this summer during our 8,000+ mile journey around the US in the Cub.
The trip is the capstone to a project we've been working on for over a year, a book about how aviation has influenced our lives. "Fly The Airplane" will be published sometime later this year. Meanwhile, you can learn more about us, the book and our project at our website, www.holladayaviation.com.
AirVenture will be one of the major highlights of our trip, though it looks like getting in on the mass Cub arrival may be challenging. We'll see what happens as the date gets closer. Most likely we'll arrive at OSH early on Saturday and set up camp in the Vintage area. Then, we can watch 75 of our fellow Cubs arrive on Monday evening.
From what I've read so far POA seems like a fun, active forum and we look forward to sharing with and learning from you all in the months ahead! Take care and fly safely,
Meredith & Dana

Seriously, sounds like a great adventure and in some ways similar to our planned national tour of air museums. If you pass through the dry side of Oregon, and you should, keep KBDN in mind and we can find a bean or two to share.
